VAPOR-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,733, dated June 15,1886.

Application filed August 10, 1885. Serial No. 174,033. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, PAUL SCHNEIDER and HENRY TRENKAMP, both ofCleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to vapor-stoves; and itconsists in the peculiarconstruction and adaptation of a burner, whereby vapor is generated forsupplying several burners grouped or arranged about said burner.

Our invention consists of a generating pipe or chamber having tubesleading therefrom supplying a burner directly over thegenerating-chamber, whose flames strike downward on the top of thegenerating-chamber, also supplying other burners for cooking or heatingpurposes, the several parts comprising said invention being constructed,combined,

and operating substantially as hereinafter fully described, and pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front sectional elevation ofa stove-frame having our improved burner attached, showing location andarrangement of the generating-burner relative to the side burners. Fig.2 is a front elevation enlarged of our generator and supply-burner. Fig.3 is a vertical section of the same.

A is a generating'tube attached by a T- joint to'the main snpply-pipe P.

To the top of tube A is attached a cap, a, having arms of, from whicharise branch pipes a in a diagonal line, supporting a crosstube, a, inwhich the orifices and needle-valves are located. From the said cap a isalso made a tube, b, standing at an angle of about fortyfive degrees,and having on its upper end a branch, N, in which is provided aneedlevalve, b

Bis a burner consisting of a concave disk having a i'oraminous bottom,0, forming a plane concave chamber located directly over the generatorA. To the top of said chamber B is attached a bent-tube, 0, having itsopen end toward the orifice in the tube 12, throngl which vapor isinjected for supplying aid burner with vapor, which burns at therforations in the bottom, the flames from whi h strike directly on topof cap a for heating the generator. Aheater-cup, 0 is attached {t thegenerator-tube below the cap for ttyg'i iti l' starting of the burner.

D is a shield or apron, partly Slll'l'Ollnding' the burner for thepurpose of protecting this burner from outside air-currents.

Depending from cross-tube a are sockets for needle-valves E. To saidcross-tubes is attached a frame, F, for supporting the tubes leading tothe several burners. Said frame has rings f, located directly over theorifices and needle-valves E. In said rings are secured the pipesleading to the burners. The middle or central burner stands on a shortvertical tube, f, and under the central opening in the stove-top. Branchpipes 9, con nected by elbows, lead to side burners, G, located beneathopenings in the stove-top.

The burners G consist of comminglingchambers composed of perforatedrings h, covered by a flat disk, H, and standing on oops I, attached tothe ends of tubes f and g,

the Vapors issuing from perforations in the rings h and producing brightcircular flames.

Having described our invention, we claim as follows:

The combination of generating-chamber A, outlet 1), pipe 0, burner B,cap a, pipes a and a, crosstube a pipesf and burners G, substantially asset forth.
